Radar couldn’t make it this week, so some of the other TT crew deputised for him: Mick and Geoff came down on their ancient steeds. Geoff mentioned that he was test riding Explorers, with the intention of buying one. And so the band of Triumph owners grows….

Ol’s brand new GS1200 – only 47 miles on the clock. Flanked by the Birmingham two.

Colin Upston – one of the 12-strong Harley group; older brother of my old mate Dave – we’ve been going to the same meets for a couple of years now: it was good to introduce ourselves and have a natter.

The motley crew….

Good meet – mostly chatting to friends old and new; the pork rolls were superb and the good old Donnington SBA slipped down a treat. We look forward to next week….
